Bentley Bentayga EWB: Exterior Design

Compared to the regular model, the Bentayga EWB gets a 180 mm longer wheelbase and changes to the underfloor, side panels, door and the roof. However, the changes to the exterior profile go unnoticed as the company has ensured the lines and proportions look similar and not out of place.

Bentley has also provided the Bentayga EWB with a new front grille consisting of a black mesh design behind chrome vertical slats. The diamond-mesh pattern on the air dam and bumper also gets a chrome finish. Over to the side, you’ll notice the massive rear doors which are noticeably longer than the front ones and new 22-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels.

Bentley Bentayga EWB: Interior Features

Move inside and you will be greeted by one of the most premium interiors in the automotive world. The base layout remains largely unchanged and comes covered in rich materials. The car continues to get features like a 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a fully digital instrument cluster, auto climate control, ambient lighting, HUD and a premium audio setup. The extended model also sees the panoramic sunroof moved back by 125 mm.

The party piece of the Bentayga EWB is at the rear, with the increased space and the new optional Airline Seats.
